Ep 142 Part 1 - What mealtimes can be when we take the pressure off w/ Emiko Davies

Our very first guest on the Can I Have Another Snack? pod is artist Laxmi Hussain whose stunning work depicts the softness of bodies and the tenderness of early motherhood. We talk about her postpartum experience, and how, even as a mother of three, her instincts were undermined and gaslit. We talk about how new mothers (especially pandemic mums) are repeatedly let down and dismissed. Laxmi shares her experiences of sharing her studio with a toddler and how he has become part of her process. We then go on to discuss her family’s food culture and her own relationship to food and appetite. Lastly, we consider all the ways that our kids are told there is something fundamentally wrong with them, and how we as parents can give them the tools to develop resilience to these messages. Also, just a heads up that this will be the final episode coming through the DSMG feed, so make sure to subscribe to the new Can I Have Another Snack? pod to catch all the new episodes!

Ep 148 - What Are They Teaching Them? w /Kelly Fullerton

Okay team, this week we’re moving away from the world of child feeding for a hot minute and diving into the world of body confidence and style. And before you start rolling your eyes at the impending “love yourself” mantra, don’t worry, that’s not where we’re heading. This week, I’m joined by Abby Russell, a curve model, fashion content creator and personal stylist who’s MO is to inspire her followers to live authentically, celebrating who they are through personal style. We dive into some of the challenges of figuring out your style after having a baby or becoming a parent. In this episode, we touch on things like;  The sneaky and not so sneaky ways that diet culture can show up in so-called fashion rules Where to begin when you’re thinking about putting your wardrobe together post-partum How Abby approaches defining your own personal style and how to fun and get playful with it Answering some listener questions on things like bras for big boobs, when to get rid of clothes that no longer fit, the stress of shopping as a plus-size person in a straight-size world and weirdly aggressive reviewers on vinted  I really hope you take something great from this episode, and with Abby’s contagious energy I’m sure you all will!  Show Notes:  Follow Laura on Instagram | Twitter Follow Abby on Instagram Follow Don’t Salt My Game on Instagram Laura’s Website Sign up for the Let’s Talk About Snacks, Baby Workshop   Book in for a complimentary 15-minute Discovery Call with Laura Check out this article by Kelsey Miller Buy an Intuitive Eating friendly guide to managing different health concerns Sign up for a Learn with LCIE Course Buy a copy of Just Eat It | How to Just Eat It  Edited by Joeli Kelly
